Michael Jackson rushed to hospital

Try to remember the good he did.

We all make mistakes. His may be true or false. We will never know for sure.

He brought this together. How many lives did he save?



Ted Kazinsky (sp?) did some great things for math early in his life....should he get a pass too?

What about Charlie Manson...all of those poor people he took in and took care of...surely we should focus on that and not the other stuff??

And for those saying MJ was acquitted...so was OJ

I once asked a defense attorney if ho thought OJ was guilty. He replied,"No, he's not guilty. He was acquitted. Did he kill those two people? You bet your ass he did."

I feel the same way about Jackson.

His life was tragedy in a million different ways but a lot of it was self-inflicted. He could have made different choices but didn't.

*** BINGO! MJ supporters are quick to say that he never had a chance to lead a normal life. What a total load of shit! He had far more choices/chances
in life than most of us will ever have. Most every negative thing in his life was totally self induced. I bet most of his supporters would be talking out of the other side of their mouth if he was sleeping with their 10 yr old son.

He was once a very talented and rich black entertainer. He ended up as a broke, crazy ass white guy.



I would say that pretty much sums it up.

The guy was a nut.

You see his beginnings in the Jackson 5, the Wiz, and to his breakthrough with the Off the Wall album. Then came Thriller - he was at the top.

And then he fell. Just too many issues. Just plain freaking weird.

I'm not gonna miss the continuing oddity that was Michael Jackson.



Dang, y'all are harsh. A man lost his life.

goldblum couldn't have died, its simple logic.



He's 56 and dating a 21-year-old. He's not dead now, but probably soon will be ;)


I could never stand Goldblum's acting, but when you put it that way, this guy is my hero!:ph34r:

We all "give a fuck" when we know them. (Well, most of us do, anyway.)



Am I just an asshole or are there others like me? B| I knew of Michael Jackson ... Can't say that I knew him and I don't generally lose any sleep over the fact that someone who I didn't personally know, died.

It just seems to me a lot of people posting here and everywhere else about this act like they were his brother or sister.

Talented artist or not (prior to going off the deep end), the earth will continue to revolve around the sun without him.

On the radio they said he'd had a physical exam recently & the doctors said he was fine.

Since he was only 50 & wasn't overweight or a smoker etc, I'm guessing there may have been some pharmaceuticals involved in his death. We'll likely hear about it soon.

Yeah maybe a potassium chloride injection.

Kaczynski was found guilty of terrorism and murder. Not quite the same.



Fair enough...but where do you draw the line on the severity of the crime that you are willing to forgive. Additionally, many consider child molestation a worse crime than murder due to the lasting mental effects on the victim. So you're right...they aren't the same...but the degree of severity could be argued.

The whole point is that like Kaczynski and Manson, people don't seem willing to overlook the bad that these people did.

I'm not going to forgive him or not forgive him. I know very little about what happened there, beyond that the case was dropped for lack of evidence. Kaczynski was found guilty. Two very different scenarios.

A child who is molested may recover, or they may not. A child who is killed never will. I don't think you'd find many parents who would choose death for their child if the alternative was being molested.

jesus christ - the news is already bad enough - now we will have to listen to this, the funeral(s), the lawsuits, the family issues, for fucking months.

Michael Jackson was a fucking freak. Bury his ass and be done with it. Someone tell me when the news stories are over with 'cause I ain't turning on the news until it is done with.....

either way bill, the offenders belong in jail for some serious crimes. the analogies may not be spot on, as we all know how much you like to point out idiosyncratic details and hound them, but the point remains valid- murder, pedophelia/molestation are both inexusable offenses. Whether one is worse than the other can be debated, sure, but neither can be excused.

MJ settled with a large sum of money outside of court to my knowledge. wether the parents might be greedy bastards (and let MJ have access to the child in question), or not, thats not what i call "not guilty".

sorrry, my law english kinda sucks, dont know how to say that in a proper way..
